Running php artisan serve command with different php versions

Question

I have a Laravel 5.6 Project which is running with PHP Version 7.10 and another Laravel 7.x project with PHP version 7.4. I defined the PHP path in Windows 10 Environment Variable and every time I have to change the PHP Environment Variable to run each project.

any solution to prevent from this redundant work?

so with batch file I can add the php path before the php artisan serve and run every project with the required php version? — Mustafa Poya, Nov 05 '20 at 17:47
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.0.33\php.exe artisan serve --host=127.0.0.1 --port=8000 — Mustafa Poya, Nov 05 '20 at 17:48
Well I wrote a batch file that accepted a parameter of the version of PHP you wanted to use so you run `>phppath 7.1.0` and then `>php artisan serve --host=127.0.0.1 --port=8000` — RiggsFolly, Nov 05 '20 at 17:49

For Windows:

to run different projects with its required PHP version you can include the required PHP path before writing artisan serve:

C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.0.33\php.exe artisan serve --host=127.0.0.1 --port=8000

C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.4.9\php.exe artisan serve --host=127.0.0.1 --port=8500

For Linux (Ubuntu):

/usr/bin/php8.0 artisan serve --host=127.0.0.1 --port=8000
